When I remove the line it works fine.

You need to install a missing dependency => libtool

[PureTryOut]

Normally the output is quite obvious when libtool is missing, but indeed having the same error: installing libtool fixed it. I suppose this issue can be closed. CC @dvdhrm and/or @nadenislamarre, can any of you close this? And is the xwiimote project still alive?
